Torsion of the spermatic cord after orchiopexy.
The cases of spermatic cord torsion reported here show that this condition may occur even some time after fixation. Three men, aged 22, 30 and 35 years, visited the urologist with complaints of an acute scrotum following earlier orchiopexy for spermatic cord torsion. Different techniques are employed to fixate the testicles after spermatic cord torsion. These cases confirm that Jaboulay's bottleneck procedure is the method of choice for bilateral fixation in patients presenting with this condition.
